Kanye Disses Jay Z Over Failure To Visit Kim After Robbery Incident
*Says There Will Never Be A ‘Watch The Throne 2’ –
The longtime bromance between two of hip-hop kings Kanye West and Jay Z seems to have gone sour after the former ranted about his friend and mentor Jay on stage on his Saint Pablo tour, at Key Arena in Seattle on Wednesday night.
Kanye, 38, aired his grievances about his relationship with Beyonce’s husband, claiming that Jay Z didn’t pay a visit to him and his wife, Kim Kardashian, after she was robbed at gunpoint earlier this month in France.
The Life of Pablo rapper also made a shocking revelation that their children never even play together.

Kanye West has two kids – two-year-old daughter North and 10-month-old son Saint, while Jay has just one daughter, four-year-old daughter Blue Ivy.
As if that wasn’t enough, Kanye said that there will never be a Watch The Throne 2 – a highly-popular collaborative album with Jay Z titled Watch The Throne in 2011.
There are indications that Kanye West is upset as he cutoff his performance of Pop Style, which was orignally supposed to be a collaboration between Kanye, Jay Z and Drake but in the album version it only ended up being Drakes.
He explained that Jay Z had vetoed the collaboration ‘because of some TIDAL-Apple bulls***.’
The music service TIDAL is co-owned by Jay Z (and Kanye too) but Drake has a relationship with Apple.

“Let me tell y’all something,” Kanye told the crowd. “There will never be a Watch the Throne 2. You know why? Because that’s the reason why I wasn’t on the song. I wasn’t on the song because of Hov. Because of some Tidal/Apple bulls***t. This shit get me tight every time I perform this motherf***ker,”
He continued, “Jay thought of a couple line. I said ‘Man, just go ahead and throw that on there. They ‘ll so surprised. He probably wouldn’t expect you to be on there.’ And Drake was like, ‘Oh S**t, The Throne is on this s**t!
“Then Jay thought about it and, out of respect for Meek Mill, he aint want to be on the track. And I said, ‘Look, I ‘ll call Drake, I ‘ll call Meek, I ‘ll call y’all…We gotta let people have this song!’ But then it went out of that territory and it went into some Tidal shit, some political shit, some shit about percentages on songs.
“I can’t take this shit, bro! Our kids ain’t never even played together. Run that shit.”
On Kim’s robbery, he said: “Don’t call me after the robbery and say ‘how you feelin’?’ You wanna know how I’m feelin’? Come by the house. Bring the kids by the house. Like we brothers, let’s sit down.”

The rap moguls have been friends for almost two decades. Jay Z and Kanye worked together at Roc-A-Fella Records, a label Jay had set up in 1996. Kanye was a producer at the company, helping to make Jay’s seminal album The Blueprint. Later, he convinced the label to sign him as a rapper, and Jay Z ended up mentoring the future star.
In 2007, Kanye released a song dedicated to Jay, Big Brother, from his 2007 album Graduation. Jay Z was “quite emotional” when Kanye first played him the song.

The duo had numerous lyrical hookups before they did an entire album together on Watch The Throne in 2011, and it was a huge commercial success.
Reports also suggests that their wives Beyonce and Kim don’t actually like each other, and eyebrows were raised in 2014 after the Jay Z and wife failed to attend Kanye and Kim’s wedding in Italy.
